On Home Theater Decor, Part One

Your home
theater isn’t just about the TV set and the seats. It’s about an ambience you wish to project
that will enhance the entertainment experience. A properly decorated home theater room will
say a lot about yourself, and has the potential to add an immeasurable amount
of style and excitement to anything you watch on screen. Why leave the house, when you can enjoy the
thrill of a special night out, every night?
4seating has just the right décor accessories to impress both friends
and family, and what follows will help to navigate you through the different
components of a good home theater, so that you can let your imagination do the
rest of the work.

Although the
look of your home theater is important, many of its accessories also provide a
practical function. One of the most important
of these are acoustic wall panels. These
panels will help reduce room echo and provide a natural, consistent sound all
around the room. 4seating offers panels
in a wide variety of colors, sizes, and materials, to match virtually any room
setup. For a standard, solid-color backing, choose a Standard acoustic panel from which you can velcro any additional accents. Tuck-and-roll paneling is fashioned from tough
bonded leather, and offers a vintage look.
“Panel-ramic” paneling provides appealing contemporary patterns that can
wrap around the room for a complete look, or you can choose Veneered Wood
paneling for a natural elegance. All
panels can be custom made to color, size, and even pattern, but each one will
provide the same expert sound modification essential to your theater
enjoyment.

Once the
paneling for your walls is chosen, you may want to enliven their look with
additional accents. This is where the
real nitty-gritty of theater décor is made—at this point, given your acoustic paneling
as a base, you’ll want to decide whether to give your room a classic, art-deco,
contemporary, or postmodern feel.
4seating offers accents in each of these styles: for a classic old-world
feel, choose the Cascade, which comprises long thin pieces that can be coordinated
to emit a palatial ambience. For those
looking for a 20s/30s art-deco look from the golden ages of film, the Rapture
and Diamond décor accents will take you right back to the days when Rudolph
Valentino and Greta Garbo reigned supreme.
The Contemporary décor accent offers a clean, streamlined look of pleasing
rectangular designs. For a more daring
look, the Flames décor can be spread among the walls to rock up your room with
plenty of hot character. As with the acoustic paneling, any one of
these accents can be custom made according to color and size requirements. Mix and match designs to your heart’s
content!

One of the
most striking additions to any home theater are accent columns, which can also
fulfill practical purposes. These tall,
regal pieces also come in a variety of colors and sizes, some with different
purposes. For example, the Audio Theater
column was designed to provide a beautiful frame for speakers that may
otherwise be a sight burden. The DVD Storage column does just that, as it discreetly holds eight slide-out shelves with
which to store video items. The Techno Round and Techno Square columns
feature top lighting for both ambience and practicality. And this is just the beginning: with thirteen
different styles of columns to choose from, you are sure to find the perfect
match for the acoustic paneling and wall accents, all coming together to create
the perfect space for imaginative self-expression. With just the right décor, your theater will
help to transport you to a time and place that will only serve to enhance anything you
view from your TV screen.

The second
half of this series on home theater décor, coming soon, will focus on the curtains,
stages, and risers that provide the backbone of any theater setup.
